Dental FillingsDental filling is one of the most common procedure we perform on a daily basis. The most common reason we do fillings are: – Broken or chipped tooth – Cosmetic dentistry |
We can do fillings with difference materials, but not limited to: – Amalgam – the silver filling which Craigieburn Dental Gallery seldom does – Ceramic – if done in ceramic instead of filling it would be called onlay or inlay. This material offers significantly better longevity than other types of fillings – Gold – not commonly used these days However if the area that needs to be filled is very large or the tooth in question already has a large area of filling on it already, tooth will then start to become brittle and a full crown may be a better long term solution. |
